WASHINGTON, May 2 (UPI) -- Iraq will be divided into three military
sectors with the United States:
the United Kingdom and Poland each commanding one area. Seven other
countries have offered troops to round out a multinational
stabilization force, CNN reports.
The plans were announced to reporters on U.S. Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld's plane as he returned from a weeklong trip through
Iraq, the Middle East and Afghanistan.
The United Kingdom hosted a conference of 16 countries Wednesday to
determine a plan for stabilization in Iraq now that combat operations
are formally over.
Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Denmark, Bulgaria and the Netherlands are all
offering troops for the stabilization force, which will be commanded
by American Army Lt. Gen. David McKiernan.
Anmerkung:
In dieser Meldung von UPI heute fällt auf, daß bei den Nationen,
die Truppen in den Irak schicken wollen, 7 als Anzahl genannt werden
werden, aber nur 6 namentlich aufgeführt sind. Die siebente Nation,
die Truppen in den Irak schickt, ist Albanien.
